Aching ribs

[paulc20-]

Does anyone get aching at the top of their ribs with copd and a feeling of being bloated?

Yes most of the time. Mainly down to indigestion and acid reflux. No cure I’ve been told so I just grin and bear it. Hope yours is curable and good luck

Tend to be sore on left of ribcage opposite heart.This if l make

the mistake of sleeping on that side.Sounds daft,but if l lay on that

side l stay on it.If start on right side move to back !!

I get sore ribs, lower left side, and can't sleep on that side. When it gets worse, I know I should have used Ventolin more, as my activities have been making my lungs try to draw more air than the muscles are physically capable of doing.

Yes most of the time and think it is trapped wind or air. Seems to go with the condition. A little Bicarbonate of soda helps me.
